[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 549083, member: 1233"] This may sound strange, but why not make some lasting form of birth control one of the conditions for living wth you? Something like the hormone implant or an IUD that isn't a daily choice? Reasoning being that while she is living with you she is not in any way capable of caring for a baby, and you are not going to raise one either, so if she intends to live with you then she must have a reliable, constant, unforgettable form of bc. Some may say it is overstepping your boundaries to do this, but the worry of a baby seems to be pretty major (and it would be for me too!), and that would at least HELP. You might have to pay for the bc, but it seems you are paying for her expenses anyway, so that may not be a big deal to you. Why not loan her out to your friends or start demanding she do x hours of community service on top of her work at home for you? If she has to leave the house and work, she may decide that it is better to get paid than to not get paid for the same work. Many areas have a Habitat for Humanity ReStore or a church run thrift store and those would give her job skills. She could also volunteer at a hospital or library. One thing that volunteer work does is to get her to explore different fields so she might find some career that is a good fit for her. If nothing else, she could clean kennels and play with dogs and cats at an animal shelter - they ALWAYS need help. Just let her know that ZERO animals come home with her!! [/QUOTE]
